Buon Natale, amici! This holiday season, I’m thrilled to share our newest creation: Marzipan with Caramel Crumble gelato. Inspired by the rich history of marzapane, the beloved almond paste that first originated in 12th-century Palermo, Sicily, this flavour combines tradition and artistry to bring a touch of Italian heritage to your festivities.
We start with creamy milk and fresh cream from Avalon Dairy here in the Fraser Valley, blended with marzipan made from almonds, organic cane sugar, and a hint of orange blossom. To give it a sweet crunch, I’ve swirled in caramel crumble—a blend of caramel biscuit and cocoa. The festive result is velvety, smooth, and nutty.
Like all our gelatos, Marzipan with Caramel Crumble is handcrafted in small batches right here in Kitsilano. It’s my way of sharing a little artisan, Italian holiday magic with you.
Want to learn how we make it? Join our Gelato 101 classes this month, where I’ll teach you the secrets behind crafting this holiday flavour and more!
Visit us at our Kitsilano or Vancouver Convention Centre gelaterias to taste this limited-edition flavour—and sign up for a class to bring the deliciousness home!
Buon appetito!
